Reasoning Quizzes For IBPS PO Mains 2022- 04th November

Directions (1-5): Read the following arrangement of symbols, letters, and numbers carefully and answer the questions based on it.

U & 7 R 4 6 V # @ B 9 L M C ! 1 D 5 L P $ 8 W T 7 @ 3

Step I: All the symbols which are immediately followed by a number will be placed from the extreme left end in the same order.
Step II: If a number is immediately followed by a letter, then such numbers are placed from the extreme right end in the increasing order.
Step III: The first twelve elements of the arrangement from the left end are placed from the extreme right end in the same order.

Note: Step II is performed after the completion of Step I, similarly, Step III is performed after the completion of Step II.

Directions (6-10): In each of the questions given below, a group of letters is given followed by some combinations of numbers/symbols. You have to find out which of the given combination correctly represents the group of letters based on the numbers/symbols codes and the conditions given below. If none of the given combinations represents the group of letters correctly, give (E) i.e., none of these as the answer.

Condition for coding the group letters:
(i) If the first letter is a vowel and the last letter is a consonant, the codes for the first and the last letter are to be interchanged.
(ii) If the first, as well as the last letter, is a consonant, then both are to be coded by the code for the second letter of the word.
(iii) If the first, as well as the last letter, is vowel, then both are to be coded by the code for the first letter.
(iv)If the first letter is a consonant and the last letter is a vowel, the codes for the first and the last letter are to be coded as €.
